Ok, save the “duh” comments. I know I’m behind the news here. Fact is, my tardiness was somewhat intentional. I’ve set myself down at the keyboard several times since Sunday night/Monday afternoon, all set to unleash my true thoughts on the Kyle Lohse signing, only to think better of it and continue to read other […]

For those of you who have kept up with the site since I started yelling at you in early May, you know I have linked almost exclusively with Baseball Reference (www.baseball-reference.com) as my source for both major and minor league statistics. I wanted to put this up as my thanks to BR for their continued […]
At least they’re not the Mets. …or the Rams. …or Scott Linehan. …or Lane Kiffin. Er, you get the point. Congrats Redbirds, for finishing this season on a high note. A couple of breaks and a few less injuries and we’d still be looking forward to home-team baseball.
Cards now playing the spoiler role! # Anyone know how many runners the Cards have had thrown out at home this year? # D’Backs foiled again! # Ha! Did you see McLaughlin hit that guy in the head with a bag of peanuts? Get off your phone pal! # That’s a winner! (For the Dodgers […]
That is a question on many a Cards fan’s tongue as the season winds to a close. As Braden Looper prepares to take the mound tonight, in the Cardinals’ final series of this wildly entertaining (and similarly frustrating) season, it could be his final appearance wearing the Birds-on-the-Bat. It can be argued that Looper’s conversion […]

Ok, so I don’t have any great way for you to influence that decision. What I do have, is a link to a post over at Redbird Review, where John dug up a great article on Page 2 at ESPN.com about the typical responses to Albert Pujols’ chances to win the NL MVP. Cruise over […]
I try my best to stick with strictly Cards talk here – and try to hold my general contempt for the Cubs as the only topic to a minimum…but this was just too good to pass up. In the interest of full disclosure, I should tell you that I caught this episode of events while […]

Put aside for a minute the fact that he wants to be traded (or for that matter, thinks he’s a tradeable commodity at this point). Adam Kennedy had another ho-hum two-for-four last night with one run batted in. The effort raised his season batting average to .271. Sure, he’s not hitting for power, as his […]
As if watching the late-August and early-September swoon of the Cardinals hasn’t been bad enough, it appears no one else wants to take the NL Wild Card spot in the playoffs. The Mets lost to the Cubs tonight, allowing the Cardinals to mathematically remain “in the race” regardless of their outcome versus Arizona tonight (and […]

I can’t believe the Cards are still only 4.5 games out of the WC # 6pm tonight – the March to the Wild Card begins – I’m calling it right now # TGlaus doesn’t look any worse for the wear, does he? # Another reason why FeLo shouldn’t be playing LF – he only knows […]
